Development Manifesto: Breach As a Core Game Mechanic

Please don't do this. I already have a problem with how the last two core mechanics were put in (Prophecies and Essences), adding in Breaches is a terrible thing.

The breach league, for me, was Path of Meta. With the onslaught of invisible, onrushing foes that all look purple and have no distinguishing features, only AoE builds were really capable of handling them. I feel as if, in this league, playing optimally was the only way to survive the breaches.

Please think of us bottom 99% when making decisions like these!

Lol dude don't blame the community for your problems.

If you're bad in the game it's not our fault. Look at you, a level 90 SC player with "problems" killing breach monsters? wtf? Are you serious?

You better don't try uber atziri, guardians or shaper bro.

Personally I got 3 level 90 in HC breach league in 3 weeks, made all end-game content including shaper and 36 challanges. And left the league. See, some players are good, others are not. Deal with it.

Go ahead GGG, add breach and bring back CADIRO to the core game as well. Everybody loves him.

Breach is tied with Rampage for the worst league ever.

So go away and never come back. ^^

due to breach, i had to reset my char 3x from vaal spark to firestorm, then to Blade vortex. Only blade vortex stopped lags or reduced it or allowed me to leech/fight even when i was in bullet time mode.

I am no friend of breaches, because it is not balanced to the rest of the game. When You start the breaches are 100% death and when it comes to merciless, it is not amusing to lose EXP because of breaches. When it must come to core game, please nerf it hard. It is something unbalanced like endboss labyrinth, what is much more difficult than rest of game.

Breach is a "build specific" league, you know? Breachlord domains, especially Uul-Netol, encouraging to use speed meta builds and totally penalize other builds, like arc or any without massive AoE and/or billion of DPS. In current state core game have no space for breach.

You must do a lot of changes before add this shit into core game.

Sure, add breaches to the core game. Just refine the shit out of it first because atm they're rippy and laggy as hell. Especially in maps. And my breach experience was with a tanky Blade Flurry build so i can only imagine the horror of breaching without good AoE and leech.

GGG rocks once again! My favorite developers!

yeah, no. breach was horrible. shitty rewards for dying when the breach suddenly decided to rape you (completely random), abominable rate of breach unique items, no obvious way of spawniing breach unique bosses. farming splinters waaaaay easier in non-level-appropriate low-level breaches. and don't get me started on the fucking boss that I couldn't even ENCOUNTER since in his side area the breach monsters only spawned 15 seconds INTO the 30 second time limit (seriously, whoever though that boss level design was a good idea needs to be marooned! then again, living in New Zealand... lol) the entire breech concept was really bad and overall made no sense whatsoever. even if the lag didn't exist (yeah, we'll never get to see that, do we?! maybe in the xbox version...)

Every other league feature but Onslaught (for obvious reasons) and Beyond would've been better suited to be implemented into the core game. Especially stuff like tempests, darkshrines, warbands and perandus. but certainly not the shitty rape-and-random-breech-garbage

HORRIBLE
